How to Use

Caring for your Hedgetrimmer

• WARNING

Disconnect from the mains electricity sup-

ply, before attempting any maintenance or

adjustment.

Cleaning (P)

1. Using a soft brush - remove debris from all

air intakes and cutting blade.

2. Wipe over surface of your hedgetrimmer

with a dry cloth.

• IMPORTANT

Never use water for cleaning your hed-

getrimmer. Do not clean with chemicals,

including petrol, or solvents - some can

destroy critical plastic parts.

Lubricating the Cutting Blade

For easier operation and longer life, lubricate the

cutter blades before and after use. Apply the oil

so that it runs between the two blades. (R).

At the end of the Cutting Season.

1. Clean your Hedgetrimmer thoroughly.

2. Check that all nuts and bolts are secure.

3. Visually inspect the Hedgetrimmer for any worn

or damaged parts, contact your local Service

Centre if any parts require replacement.

To store your Hedgetrimmer

• Ensure the blade cover is fitted before

storage.

• Store in a dry place where your

Hedgetrimmer is protected from damage.

How to Use your Hedgetrimmer

1. Inspect area to be cut before each use -

remove objects which can be thrown or

become entangled in the cutting blades.

2. Always keep the Hedgetrimmer in front of your

body. Hold handle firmly with both hands and

stand in a secure and stable position.

3. Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed

before entering the material to be cut.

4. Always work going away from people and solid

objects such as walls, large stones, trees,

vehicles etc.

5. If blade stalls, immediately stop the

Hedgetrimmer. Disconnect the Hedgetrimmer

from the power source and clear jammed

debris from the cutting blades. Inspect blades

and repair or replace as needed.

Top Cutting

Use a wide sweeping motion. (M) A slight down-

ward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of

motion gives the best cutting results.

Side Cutting

When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the

bottom and cut upwards (N), tapering the hedge

inward at the top. This shape will expose more of the

hedge, resulting in more uniformed growth.
